Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
Contrary to the father’s contention, the Family Court did not err in dismissing his petition for a change of custody without first conducting a hearing. The father did not make a sufficient evidentiary showing to warrant a hearing (see, Matter of Farmer v Dervay, 203 AD2d 795; Matter of Acevedo v Commissioner of Social Servs., 184 AD2d 219; Alessandro v Alessandro, 172 AD2d 1078; David W. v Julia W., 158 AD2d 1).
The mother’s request for an award of sanctions and attorney’s fees is denied (see, 22 NYCRR 130-1.1). Rosenblatt, J. P., Miller, Ritter and Hart, JJ., concur.
